Starting a blog seems like a natural extension of what we do every day…

We create beautiful and meaningful events for people.

We too struggle to figure out what to make for dinner.

We travel to places that amaze us.

We enjoy eating other people’s food.

We appreciate beautiful things.

We love sharing.

We love to entertain.

We appreciate learning from people, and we just thought it would be fun.

So here we go. I hope you will appreciate looking at words, ideas and pictures maybe even in a different light. I look forward to the journey with you and hope to hear from you along the way.

I am known for saying a lot in few words. I am the Queen of one word responses, little punctuation and some would argue a different language altogether. So I look forward to the challenge of extending my words and myself in the process. Who knows you may tell me to go back to the one word responses but here is my first run.

Relish\ rel·ish \ˈre-lish\

Definition of relish:

1. characteristic flavor; especially :  pleasing or zestful flavor
2. a quantity just sufficient to flavor or characterize
3. enjoyment of or delight in something that satisfies one’s tastes, inclinations, or desires : a strong liking
4. something adding a zestful flavor; especially :  a condiment (as of pickles or green tomatoes) eaten with other food to add flavor

Our household is full of “relish.”

We take condiments very seriously. We don’t have hot sauce we have twenty hot sauces.

We don’t have ranch we have 4 different kinds. We have salsa, chutney, chimichurri and pesto on hand at all times.

We have multiple salad dressing options homemade and store bought and at least 3 of each at all times. Caesar, we prefer the one Bruce makes, but in a pinch we will suffer through store bought.

You just never know when you may need to dip something so we are ready at all times.

We also enjoy opportunities to relish in the moment. Thanksgiving might be our favorite time to relish in it all. Family, friends who are like family, food and fellowship and no presents. My definition of a perfect holiday.

We too like to relish in the moment of all things when we can. How do you relish?
